Still Bivol.
Sloppy Benavidez gets walked down.
Morrel gives more headache than Benavidez because of his footwork but he hasn't any elite defensive skills either. Loses by decision.
Don't even mention mediocre fighters like Andrade and Charlo.
Bivol has tough style.
I don't know where you're getting that information, that Morell jr doesn't have elite defense. That's the first thing they teach you in Cuba. And in 9 fights he hasn't lose a round yet. So, how do you know he doesn't have defense? By the way, I think Morell jr would batter ginger from pole to pole.

Ryder will have his 0.01% chance this weekend...

So far the Poll Result showed that majority of the fans think Bivol will whoop Nelo's ass again even @ 168.... while Nelo fans think Bivol will be drained @ 168.... :lol1: (drained and still whoop his ass?) :D
benavidez stops him, bivol beats him easy again, not seen morrell fight but if hes half decent he beats canelo too
It seems Nelo's 168 reign is in danger if he fights anyone of these 3 guys next...
Bivol, on the other hand, we have already seen how he was able to leverage his height, reach and mobility advantages, add to that his tight defense and it's difficult to see Canelo winning at any weight where Bivol can physically compete.
This is why Nelo seems reluctant to have a rematch fight with Bivol... moreso @ 168... afraid of losing all of his 168 belts ...
Not saying that Benevidez or even Morrell couldn't beat him but I haven't seen enough from either to think they would. Good fights that I'd still favor Canelo.
